The objective is to analyze power relations and violence between thesis advisors and tutored students in a postgraduate institution. The methodology was quantitative; a questionnaire was applied to one hundred students, univariate descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used. Tutoring professors exercise psychological, social, gender violence, verbal and cybernetic. The consequences are stress, impotence and fear of damage to their academic and research progress. In conclusion, the hypothesis was not rejected because students accept power relations and violent actions from their advisors, finding themselves in a hierarchical and patriarchal power system.

Keywords : violence; thesis advisors; scholarship students; hierarchy.
